- Welcome to the NeXTSTEP Front End for Gnuplot, a general purpose
- graphing and plotting application capable of plotting mathematical
- expressions or points from a data file, in 2 or 3 dimensions. This
- app is entirely self-contained and requires no prior installation or
- knowledge of Gnuplot.
-
- This version supports more Gnuplot features than previous versions and
- fixes many bugs. It is also based on Gnuplot 3.3, which is still in
- beta as of March 1993 but, in a 10th beta release, is very solid. (As
- soon as Gnuplot 3.3 is officially released, I will update this app
- with the latest sources.)
-
- Gnuplot.app adds NeXTSTEP features to Gnuplot, taking advantage of
- services, drag-n-drop, standard font and print panels, and inspectors.
- None of the original gnuplot source was changed for this app (aside
- from minor changes like renaming main() and adding a custom terminal
- type), so the app can also be run from the command line just as you
- would run the original command-line Gnuplot -- there is no need to
- install two versions of Gnuplot.
-
-
- ** Note that Gnuplot.app now requires NeXTSTEP 3.0 **
-
-
- The file package should have unpacked into a folder called Gnuplot
- which contains the following:
-
-
- Gnuplot.app -- The precompiled app
-
- INTRO -- An introduction
-
- NeXTSTEP -- The source for the app
-
- Original_3.3b10 -- Many of the files distributed with Gnuplot 3.3 are
- necessary for building the NeXTSTEP app, but they
- are included for completness. Gnuplot
- documentation and supporting files not pertaining
- to this app are here as well.
-
- Samples -- Some sample documents for the NeXTSTEP app
-
-
-
- The Gnuplot front end is provided in hope that it will be
- useful for something and with absolutely no warranty of any kind.
- Please see the Copying panel in the Info menu. Send questions,
- comments, bug reports, and suggestions to the address below.
